Abstract
A method for monitoring temperature or pressure by the steps of: providing a light path (30-42) having a light attenuating characteristic which is substantially independent of light wavelength, at least with respect to a given wavelength range; conducting light having different first and second wavelengths which are in the given wavelength range along the light path (30-42); controlling the intensity of the radiation along the light path (30-42) as a function of the temperature or pressure to be monitored and the light wavelength; producing (76-82): four signals having values representing the light intensity at, respectively: the output end of the path for light having the first wavelength; the input end of the path for light having the first wavelength; the output end of the path for light having the second wavelength; and the input end of the path for light having the second wavelength; and deriving (86-90) an output signal having a value representing the ratio of the mathematical product of the values of the first and fourth signals to the mathematical product of the values of the second and third signals.
